“This is honestly so scary!” the former professional golfer said. “They took a screenshot of a video I did a couple years ago holding a head cover and photoshopped a sign in.

“PSA do not talk to anyone claiming to be me! I’m not on any chat apps. I will only ever respond from my verified social media accounts and my passes account. Please report and block anyone claiming to be me!”

The 31-year-old former San Diego State and University of Arizona star has taken swings at her imposters before, posting a screenshot of two fake accounts sniping at each other over which one was the real Spiranac.

“I can’t make this up,” Spiranac posted on social media in February 2023. “Fake me is calling out other fake me.”

This wasn’t the first time, either, that she warned followers about looking for “red flags” when it comes to fakes, according to the New York Post.

“Is the message coming from my verified account?” she posted in 2022. “If so, it is me.

“Is the message coming from an account under my name that has zero followers, it is not me, that is a fake account.”

Spiranac, who has more than four million followers on Instagram and one million followers on X, even launched her subscription service, OnlyPaige, to connect to her loyal supporters, the New York Post reported, before moving content to Passes.com.

The original site had offered golf instructional videos, photos, Q&As and live streams, among other content.
